Tori Spelling Backs Out of 90210 Remake

Tori Spelling, daughter of Beverly Hills 90210's original producer, was supposed to reprise her role as Donna Martin in the new remake. She'd be joining old castmates Shannen Doherty (Brenda), and Jennie Garth (Kelly). But it looks like that's no longer going to happen.

Having heard rumors that Shannen and Jennie were getting paid more, Tori backed out of the show, citing "timing reasons" as her excuse.

Tori was reportedly signed for just $10,000 to $50,000 per episode, while Jennie and Shannen were signed for $35,000 to $50,000 per episode. When Tori found out, sources say she was fuming mad and demanded equal pay from the network. The network declined, and Tori quit.

Tori told media that the timing didn't work out for her to appear in the new pilot because she was giving birth. “So we’ll see what happens later in the season,” she said. One source says it wouldn’t be surprising if Tori and the show eventually agree to bring her onto 90210 as a November sweeps stunt.
